How Does Wegovy Work for Weight Loss?

What Is Wegovy?

Wegovy is a weekly injection that contains semaglutide, the same active ingredient as Ozempic, but licensed in the UK specifically for weight management. It is designed to help adults who are overweight or obese lose weight safely and effectively when combined with healthy lifestyle changes.

How Wegovy Works in the Body

Wegovy works by mimicking a natural hormone in the body called GLP-1 (glucagon-like peptide-1). This hormone is released after eating and plays a role in controlling appetite and food intake. By activating GLP-1 receptors, Wegovy helps you:

  • Feel fuller for longer
  • Reduce cravings
  • Lower overall calorie intake
  • Support gradual and sustainable weight loss

Clinical Trial Results

In clinical studies, patients taking Wegovy lost an average of 15% of their body weight over 68 weeks, compared to those on lifestyle changes alone. This makes it one of the most effective licensed weight-loss medications in the UK.

Wegovy vs Mounjaro

Mounjaro (tirzepatide) works in a similar way but also targets an additional hormone called GIP. While this can sometimes lead to greater weight loss (up to 20%), Mounjaro is more expensive, especially after the September 2025 price rise. Wegovy remains the licensed and more affordable option in the UK.
